Morgan Evans Scores First U.S. No.1 Single with ‘Kiss Somebody’
"I can’t even begin to express how overwhelmed I am with gratitude," said Evans.
It’s time to ‘kiss somebody’ in celebration because Morgan Evans has the No.1 song in the country! The Australia native scored his first U.S. chart-topper on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart with his debut “Kiss Somebody.”
“I played my very first show on the other side of the world and the idea of traveling to America, let alone having the #1 song in Country music, was the dream. And, this week it has come true!” said Evans. “I can’t even begin to express how overwhelmed I am with gratitude. THANK YOU to the fans and everyone at country radio for all the love you’ve given back to this song.”
Co-written by Evans, Chris DeStefano and Josh Osborne, the song has garnered more than 52 million streams and cruised to number four on the iTunes Top Country Songs chart after an appearance on ABC’s The Bachelorette.
